STMicroelectronics L5983
The L5983 is a step-down switching regulator with a 2.0 A (min.) current limited embedded Power MOSFET, so it is able to deliver an output current in excess of 1.5 A DC to the load. The input voltage can range from 2.9 V to 18 V, while the output voltage can be set starting from 0.6 V to VIN. The VFQFPN package with an exposed pad allows reducing the RthJA down to approximately 60 °C/W.FEATURES

APPLICATIONS
DESCRIPTION
Having a minimum input voltage of 2.9 V, the device is suitable also for a 3.3 V bus. Requiring a minimum set of external components, the device includes an internal 250 kHz switching frequency oscillator that can be externally adjusted up to 1 MHz.● Consumer: STB, DVD, DVD recorder, car audio, LCD TV and monitors Figure 1.
